How is speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit penalized?

According to relevant regulations, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a penalty of 3 demerit points on the driver's license. As per the regulations, if the vehicle speed exceeds 10% but does not reach 20%, a fine will be imposed.
Last month, I drove back to my hometown and didn't notice the speed limit sign on the road, resulting in exceeding the speed limit by about 15%. I was pulled over by the police, fined 200 yuan, and had 3 points deducted from my license. The penalty wasn't too severe, but it reminded me not to be careless. When driving, I usually use my phone's navigation to monitor my speed in real-time, which helps avoid similar issues. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10%, especially in rainy conditions, increases braking distance, and if an accident occurs, the consequences could be dire. I recommend new drivers develop the habit of frequently checking the dashboard—safety first.
I believe speeding even just over 10% carries significant risks – it can easily lead to loss of control on slippery rainy roads. The penalty is merely a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points, aimed more at education than punishment. What worries me more are the potential accidents, as news reports show many cases caused by exceeding the speed limit just slightly. I often teach friends how to adjust their speed: maintain a safe distance and use smart cruise control – these simple methods can make a big difference. Life is precious; the fine amount is trivial, but never compromise on safety.
